Summary

Anthropic has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to authors to settle a lawsuit over the use of pirated books for AI training. The judge ruled this was not a copyright violation, but the US government has issued a notice regarding the legality of such practices, particularly concerning Chinese AI models.

Original caption

Anthropic is paying $1.5 billion in settlement for the books they use to train their models. The judge ruled that Anthropic using the books to train their models was not a violation of copyright law. Fast-forward to today, Anthropic and Open AI are trying to get the White House to declare that distillation of AI models is illegal to keep the Chinese from releasing superior open weight models.
